My current Mac is backed up with an iomega Mini Max HD. Via FireWire
I'm concidering buying a New Mac Book which I've heard does not have a FireWire conextion..... If I connect the Mini Max via the USB2 will it still work or do I have to look for an "Older" MacBook with FW.
Thanks

If your drive has a USB2 connection, it should work fine.

Yes, if you get an Intel based Mac.. See this Apple KB article for more info.
